If you're visiting Hangzhou, Lingyin Temple (灵隐寺) is one place I would definitely put on your itinerary. Hidden among mountains and trees near West Lake, Lingyin Temple feels completely different from the busy parts of Hangzhou. You don't just come here for one temple building either. The whole area includes Feilai Peak (飞来峰), ancient Buddhist carvings, forest paths and several temples surrounded by greenery. If you only have a few days in Hangzhou, this is one of the places
